If the police say they investigated and found no issue, then I believe them. To me this guy lost all credibility when he said "he suffered emotional injuries... including injuries to his feelings, dignity, pride and self-respect in all aspects of his personal and vocational pursuits." Sounds like he's trying to make a few dollars through the courts or in a settlement.

Just another loser trying to get free cash

I'm having a difficult time imagining Kane just randomly jumping someone on the street

Besides, if Kane really wanted to jump him I doubt the police wouldn't be able to find enough evidence to place charges. This is the guy who knocked out Matt Cooke in a single punch.

Googled the "victim" and I guess that is how they do things in Moscow. In Canada......not so much.

 

[GJF]

This sounds so much like fake it's like it's from a comedy show plot.

The Free Press has learned Vancouver police previously investigated Makievsky's version of events and ultimately took no action against Kane, who was born in B.C. and spends much of his off-season there.

"We did investigate allegations of an assault on that day and at that location, but given the circumstances of the incident there were no arrests made and there was insufficient evidence to support or recommend any criminal charges," Const. Brian Montague told the Free Press on Wednesday. "From our perspective, the matter is considered closed."

He'll get his day in court, obviously, but it sounds like a frivolous private suit to me.

 

[Puckatron 3000]

"The assault and battery upon the complainant by the defendant was unprovoked and premeditated," the lawsuit reads. "The conduct of the defendant was callous, disgraceful, outrageous, extreme, malicious, offensive, reprehensible and represented a marked departure from ordinary standards of reasonable behaviour."

That sounds exactly like Jackie, the lawyer from Seinfeld.

Perhaps Kane can offer up free Starbucks coffee to make it go away.

 

[broinwhyteridge]

Any clown can bring a lawsuit like this one. Counter sue!

He may not even get a day in court. If I were the judge, I'd laugh and toss the suit out. When the police department doesn't find enough evidence to file charges, it usually means a civil suit will get tossed as well. Depending on the jury if it even gets to court. The fact that this is in the Supreme Court of BC means that he's already exhausted almost all he can in BC. I highly doubt Kane will even see court. He can counter sue for defamation of character or another similar counter.

This isn't merica people.

 

[Derfel*]

The guy is clearly hoping Kane will settle out of court. There was indeed a fight of sorts, and the guy might be thinking Kane will throw him some cash to end it quickly. I hope Kane doesn't do anything of the sort.

Me too. Best thing to do IMO is to counter sue.

If Evander wins a countersuit he can probably seize the guys Yugo.

Does this mean that Kane's name is gonna pop up even more on the trade boards, and people are gonna use this as a reason for why:
1. He wants out of Winnipeg
2. He has pretty much no value?

...

Who am I kidding, of course it does.

Of course it does, because potato.

I hate this kind of stuff - hopefully, Kane countersues rather than just 'giving in'.

 

[theamazingchris]

Counter-suing means more press. More press is bad, because then more people notice. This will be dismissed and that'll end it.

 

[Puckatron 3000]

I'm glad this didn't happen in Winnipeg. Both to avoid the media frenzy, and so Kane doesn't have any hard feelings against the city/people.

That is just intentional tort language, grounds to stop a trespass against ones body.

This is assault, all that is needed is a threat of harm that is comprehended. Physical force would be battery.

 

[Darth Handsome*]

Can't wait for Westwood to get his paws on this.

Right, but the article says the man does in fact claim that Kane jumped him, so...

 

[Romang67]

Maybe the guy mispronounced 'Chowder'?

 

[Gil Fisher]

Just another attempt by the Canadians to lower Kane's trade value.

 

[Huffer]

That sounds exactly like Jackie, the lawyer from Seinfeld.

Almost exactly.

That's CHOW-DA! Say it right, frenchy!!!!

The man claimed that Kane jumped him in the article, that was the exact phrase he used.
